on the advice of friends. entered
the office of Surgeon General
Henry Palmer. of that city, as a
student, under whose able direc-
tion mis- medical career was mold
ed. His analytical cast of mind
and aptitude for study soon fitted
him to become a trustworthy as
sistant to his preceptor in all his
most formidable surgical proce-
dures, and gave young Williams
abundant opportunity for obser
vation and practice.
Acting On the advice of DR..
Palmer, he matriculated at the
Chicago Medical College in the
Fall Of 1879, and completing the
course of study, graduated from
that institution in 1882. He at
once settled down to business in
Chicago, and has had almost phe
nominal success in building up a
large and lucrative practice a.
mong an excellent class of people.
Hell known to be an untiring
student and a conscientious prac-
titioner, is familiar with every de-
tail of his chosen profession, and
is already regarded as surgeon
of more than ordinary ability.
Shrewd in business affairs, gen.
ial and companionable in every
day life, he Is in every respect a
product of the present era. He is
member of the Chicago Medi-
cal Society, the Medico-Legal So
ciety, the illinois Medical Society,
and the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. He is surgeon at the
South Side-Dispensary. one of the
surgeons to the Chicago Cable

take An honorable place among

is Mr.. John III. Lawson, a young
man Of ability aud education who
passed successfully civil service
examination for a clerkship and

and sketch of his life as follows:
1.-THE world is apt to form its
estimates of the worth and ability
of a race flom the calibre of the
men it sends to the front to per-
form the important duties of life.
Should that rule obtain in the

it is possible for them to achieve
in the noble profession of medi-
cine. lie was born January 18,
1856, at Hollidaysburg, Pa. His
father, a descendant OF the Wil>
liams of Rhode Island, was also
born near the same village. His
mother first saw the light at An
napolis. Nd, and was a descend
ant, on her mothers side, of the
CAROLS of Carrollton. Young
Williams attended school in his
native village until he was nine
years old. The war excitement
was then intense. Lee and the
Confederate army had invaded
Pennsylvania, and his father
raised a regiment and went with
it to the defense OF Gettysburg,
where he was created Major for
gallant conduct On the field. At
the close of the war the family
moved to Annapolis, Md, where
the exposure incident to the life
of soldier fastened his fathers
death. In April. 1866, after the
demise of her husband, Mrs. Will
liams went West, leaving Daniel
attending school and making his
home with the family of Mr.. w.
Bishop, of Baltimore, Md. At the
expiration of two years the young
man joined his mother at Rock
ford, ILL.,, finally going to James

foundation of a life of usefulness.
At GAINESVILLE he made his home

fend the weak against strong; the
innocent against the guilty. Fol
low in this course, and the BEE

OUR CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT.

The time has come in the his
tory of the Negro for him to ex-
ercise those rights and privileges
that were created by God and
man. The enemies of the Negro
seemed to have waited until the
success of the democratic party be-
fore they dared to demonstrate their
prejudices aud disgust for
him. Everywhere the Negro
goes he is confronted with rebuke
and discrimination. Our visit to
Bay Ridge, Md, on last Sunday
morning, is an evidence of this
fact, but, if there is any justice in
the American courts, We shall see
if an American citizen can be
barred..from the privileges OF a pub
lie dinning room, owned and con-
trolled by a corporation. The
Bay Ridge Co., is owned and con-
trolled by the Baltimore and Ohio

vertised in the daily papers OF this

with the understanding that you
are to have certain privileges and
accommodations. You are con-

THE COLOR LINE AT BAY
RIDGE.
EDITOR CHASE PROPOSES A CIVIL
RIGHTS SUIT FOR DAMAGES.

Hearing that w. Calvin Chase.
editor of the Washington BEE, con
templated entering a civil rights
suit against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company and the
Bay Ridge Company, a Critic man
called on Mr.. Chase to find out why
he will bring suit. Mr.. Chase who
was sick at homo and evidently
very indignant at his treatment,
said to the reporter:
eyes, [ intend, through Mr.. Will
liam A. Cook, to bring suit against
both these companies if necessary
but | think | will only have to sue
the Railroad Company, as l under
stand it own and controls the ell
tire business Of the Bay Ridge
Company.
:'On Sunday last I boarded the
10 o'clock train at the B. and o.
depot, having bought a ticket for
Bay Bidge and return, and was
conveyed to that place. AT noon
or little later 1 became hungry
and went into the Bay Ridge HO-
tel to get dinner. When L read
the bill of fare, and decided what
would suit my appetite, 1 called a
waiter and ordered some clam
chowder and fish, Mr.. Chase is
somewhat of an epicure and so Or
dered his dinner in courses.
''The waiter, William Washing
ton. took my order and registered
it with the clerk and then went and
got it, but while on his way to
serve me was intercepted by head
waiter William Twine, who said to
him, You know it's against the
rules The waiter then put the
food aside and told me be could
not serve me. | asked him why,
and he referred me to the head
waiter, who came up and said, lit
is against the rules and referred
me to the steward, Mr.. Maffette,
white whom | again asked why
| could not be served, and he re-
piled Because it is against the
rules OF the company Iasked him
what rules of the company, and he
answered, Your skin is too dark
[ then told him 1 did not propose
to get up from the table until | got
something to eat. He then told
me [ would have too see Mr.. Webb
the general agent and manager of
the hotel. l then requested Wait
er Baynard to take my card to Mr..
Webb, but the head waiter would
not allow him to take it. l then
said: I will remain at the table un-
til Mr.. Webb comes, or until 1 get
something to eat In the mean
time Mr.. Webb, accompanied by
another man, came up to me. l
told him [ wanted to be served with
a dinner, and he replied: You
can't be served here 1 asked him
why, and he said 1T isagainst the
rules of the company | then in
sisted OH his giving me the reason
for these rules and asked him if he
refused to serve me OH account of
my color. He replied most emphat-
ically Yes / told him that was
all l wanted to know, and | then
left the table,"
During all this controversy
much excitement was created in
the dining room, and about a hun.
dred colored walters gathered a
round Chase and Webb. They
